Mother In-Law/Grandma In Town


I'm about a weekish behind- so let me just catch up here..
Jolene(Mike's Mom) came to visit us(us, I'm meaning Jaxxon) she could careless if she saw Mike and I at all haha jk. It was nice having a visitor. Luckily we got to have a car the time she was down here, so that we could go explore. I've been dying to go to DASH(the Kardashian store) here in Miami. I told Jolene that if she came down, that I'd wait and go with her. She has a secret crush on Khloe-so we needed to go just to see what it was like. One day we made the drive down to Miami(which is only about a 35 min drive) and we arrive at DASH. To tell you the truth, I thought that it'd be in a more "nicer" area if you will. Def didn't fit in where it was located. We got lucky with a sweet parking spot(parking is crazy down at South Beach) and we made our way towards the store. It wasn't too busy when we went. We walked in, and their was 2 security dudes. Seriously, I doubt someone is going to walk in their and steal an article of clothing-but I may be wrong. The clothes were not cheap at all! A dress that you could probably get at Wal-mart was about eh $300-it probably cost the makers $1.00 to make. I really really wanted something from their, but I just couldn't really justify the prices. I would have to buy something that said DASH on it, so that people knew I bought it from their. All other clothes, just looked like you could get them somewhere else(since they had so many different designers).. I txt Mike and told them that we were at DASH-and to my surprise he said "You better have bought something so that you can say you got it from DASH". I about crapped myself-I then responded with "The cheapest thing I could get would be $60.00-even though they had a ghetto keychain that was still $16.00. Another response from Mike after that was "Don't just get something that is "cheap" just to say you got something. Get something that is expensive, and can also be a souvenir.. "I was thinking this is freakin awesome". I had to just double check to make sure he was serious, and he was. I then purchased a DASH Miami long sleeved "light" shirt, and DASH sweats(they say DASH on the bum) I LOVE them... I was trying to talk Jolene into getting something their, but she wouldn't.(I usually can talk her into getting something every time we go shopping)
We then ventured our way to a HUGE mall(we figured since we were in Miami, we need to see what else we could do) On the way to the mall though-we hit a HUGE MAJOR RAIN STORM.. It was so intense, I wanted to pull over but their was no where I could. I had the wipers going as fast as they could, and it still wasn't fast enough. Luckily it let up within about 10 min-so we could at least get from the car to the mall doors. We were so excited when we scored a Disney Store-I don't know what it is, but ever since we have gone to Disneyland once a year-a Disney store gives us our fix. I purchased some things for Jaxx, and then we headed to get some ice-cream. At this point we were ready to go back home. Jaxx was even saying "Home"!
Luckily we had some time to go to the pool, and also to the beach. The beach water was a bit dirty-but we still had so much fun their. She came on a good weekend, cause she also got a free dinner on the company-since they hit their goal that week..
We enjoyed having Grandma here-and def can't wait to be home and see the rest of our family! Thanks Jo for coming to visit us..  We miss you all so much and pray for everyone.. We love you








BTW:Ames side-countdown is STILL on for DISNEYLAND!

Life in Miami

Where do I begin, as if our life is hectic-it really isn't. We've been enjoying some warm weather along with rain as well. We don't go to the pool much, because it rains 90% of the time. We don't have an extra car out here for me to drive, so one of Mike's reps lets me borrow his car whenever I want, which is so nice. Jaxxon has a girlfriend out here named Caydence, they play so well together(for the most part) I def had to regulate on the parent, good thing she doesn't know I have a blog :) Long story, but I can share if you want.. Jaxxon has been talking way too much, also repeats everything we say, so we have to be SUPER careful.. We witnessed our second Gator, while driving to church Sunday. While driving on the freeway going about 55ish I yell I just saw a Gator! Mike then came to a stop, and made sure no one was behind us, and started reversing. Sure enough, I was right. I have bad eyes when I drive, but I can usually spot a Gator(I guess cause I look for them all the time). So Mike and Ami get out(Ami is another rep) and Mike starts throwing rocks at it. Getting so close to the thing, it wouldn't move. Ami then picked up a few, and still nothing. Final rock throw and BAM hit the thing right on the head and goes under so fast. That was the highlight of our Sunday!
We are doing great down here, but def miss our family and pups.. Nothing too exciting: hahaha so keep reading!
